Protein synthesis Flashcards
1
Q
Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
A
Unidirectional flow of genetic information
DNA→transcription→RNA→translation→Protein
2
Q
Features of genetic code
A
- Triple code
- Universal
- Degenerate but not ambiguous (more than one codon can code of a AA, but each codon codes for only one AA)
- Non-overlapping

AUG
4
Q
Stop codon
A
UGA, UAA, UAG

7
Q
Aneuploidy
A
Missing or extra chromosome (monosomy, trisomy)
8
Q

A
More than one set of chromosome (triploid, tetraploid)
